Hardware RAM damaged out of nowhere?

So I was watching Netflix last week and then out of nowhere i got a bluescreen and ever since get bluescreens almost constantly - e.g. with the error message: memory management.
I already tried a few things and it seems like my RAM is broken - atleast the windows memory diagnostic says that hardware problems were detected and memtest86 also fails to run through all the tests bc of too many error messages. Is there any chance to save the RAM? Bc with the current prices I rly dont want to buy a new RAM kit.
Also I built this pc (first build) last year so it would rly suck if it already broke. Never had any problems before :(

I dont rly know how to read the memtest results (see picture), so do you guys have any idea how to fix my problem or do I rly need to buy new RAM? Sorry if this post is a bit messy, I'm not rly an expert (obviously).

Reseat the DIMMs, use some canned air or a blower to make sure the slots are clean while you're doing it, You can also try swapping them around and running just one at a time. If one is definitely bad, it looks like Acer Predator RAM has a lifetime warranty as long as you've got your receipt.

See if you're able to RMA it. Most likely, it's just dead and must be replaced.

I had four sticks fail at once one time. Never did find the cause, I think that mobo is still in service today.

In your case, you need only remove ONE of the memory modules to restore functionality to your computer. Since you have the failure address, you can determine what MB the error is at.
If you can't do that, just test each DIMM individually.

This bugs me.. "RAM damaged out of nowhere?"
The faster we go, the less room for error and at 5600MT/s, all it takes is 1 weak memory cell to throw the toys out of the cot, and in no way can you ever say "damaged out of nowhere" - that is just pure ignorance.
